Oh, I absolutely adore this! It's positively appalling you haven't gotten a review for this yet! It's clever, wonderfully in-character, and has very believable dialogue. But above all else, it shows a careful consideration and forethought for the plot direction, which is all too rare for the world of fanfiction. Your writing makes me smile.
Kudos to you!

And your review makes me smile- in a way I'm not entirely sure looks, at that. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a meaty comment rather than just leaving it at "I like it" or something similar.
I'm glad you liked the dialogue (I had a lot of fun writing much of it), and I'm tickled pink that my characterizations are acceptable. I'm not sure if I'm quite worthy of all the praise towards plotting, as this was something of a spur of the moment fic, but thanks so much for that as well.
Heh, and I've learned in my short time here not to expect much by way of reviews at Ficwad. I've got this posted at FFN as well, and I've received twelve reviews for it there- although only two that quite match your caliber. So, no need to worry, although I appreciate your- concern? indignation? In any direction, I appreciate it
